    ah well hair/makeup can make somebody really diff i suppose, but you working with what you got

    having my hair straightened by a girl was oddly intriguing, i do like being messed with, but im happy enough to stop there, they even try at beers sometimes :(

    shhh shes like beetlejuice with the damn lashes. i can hear her stirring!

    my dog can fly

    <img>
    Yup depends on what you change, and how people pick it up/appreciate it.

    Only ever had my hair put into plaits when it was long, I didnt complain as I love my hair being played with :o

    You've got anti-grav dog! Want!:eek:
    I'd love to see that too.

    Oh it's not bad now that your feet just sink into the snow. It was bad a few days ago, when there was no proper snow, only ice. Like sheets of irregular bumpy ice on the footpaths. Not too bad in certain areas, but to get from my house to the bus stop it was SO hard, as that's only a pedestrian way, not a proper road for cars, which means that nothing had been cleared.

    I distinctly remember that the first time I expressed an interest in putting makeup on Tar, Moonbaby immediately jumped to say that she'd asked first. So I don't think it's just the eyelashes....

    =/ I wanna go back to being the Goddess :( I've learned that I'm not submissive at all. I always thought I was. But now I think I'm just a bossy bitch. :o

    You getting food? I made lemon curd today to accompany the shortbread ^^
    Cut down on size again to help :)

    It was like that all over Dublin possibly, nearly gave myself brain damage a few times with those 'almost falls' that could have been bad. Walking in the snow is alright, once it melts to water and dont turn to ice that's ok. Walking on those paths would be bad, dont like them even in the rain :p

    She can hear us typing about it right now:pac:

    Something wrong with being slave? :p I wouldnt say bossy bitch, but you likes your level of control lol! You'll be back to normal soon.

    Yeah I just had some tea as there's no food here, need to do shopping tomorrow :( Lemony things are nice...
    mayhap if you have lost interest in makeuping me your mother might be so kind? :pac:
    I've not had the chance to meet the lady, but surely she's nice! She sounds it :D

    It wasn't like that in town (yes, I know you live in town!). I had class on those days, so I was around there more than around my house. In some parts of town they even cleared the footpaths! And in places they hadn't cleared them there was only a thin layer of ice, probably from shops or the council clearing them the day before. Just as dangerous, yeah, but not as bumpy so it was easier to walk. Bah, it was awful everywhere. =/ But the snow is so pretty!!!!! ^_^
    :)

    Meh.. being a slave is just.... meh. Not used to it at all. It's weird. Like, why should I wait for permission to be granted before I do stuff? Shouldn't I be the one giving permission? :( But I will be the best slave ever!!! Once I get over the annoyance of actually having to say the stuff Dec makes me say. Ugh.

    Tea! I love tea!!!

    Paul hasn't met my mum either. You might meet her some time. And then she'll probably adore you.

    Ok, so I asked the boyfriend. He has a million very good screens (usually 5 turned on at all times when he's in his office, for work).

    This is what he has to say on the matter:
    yeah i can, without tilting. its down to both the contrast setting on the screen and the contrast ratio which is a good measure of screen quality. i have high quality screens suitable for photo work, yours would be too :)


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 60,115 Mod ✭✭✭✭Tar.Aldarion


    hmm i must try it on my other screens and mess with the settings on this! i know this a good screen but my other one not so good, wonder can i see it on the crap one lol

    And this, kids, is a classic example of telling the engineering-minded person: "nope, it can't be done".

    I'm pretty sure Dec's now checking on every computer he has around the house, and laptops he might be fixing atm >_>
    It would be like him alright.

    Around my area there was ALOT of ice, that bumpy kind you dont like...further in towards your college was ok as there were people everywhere so council sorted it out (I seen them with sledgehammers breaking up the ice). The snow is so clean and pure looking, I agree that it is really pretty!

    Not used to being told what to do/say either, but what can ya do eh?:p Sit back and plot your glorious return to power! Yes you SHOULD be ^_^

    Tea = awesome. Maybe she will, we'll see:)

    I turned on Pulp Fiction, even though I've watched Clerks 2 and Scott Pilgrim tonight...maybe I should turn off media player and chill:cool:

    Cranky Bruna hates fanboyism, and can't currently take a joke about it because they're just soooo old and tiresome............ (yes, that goes for you, Tar)

    But yeah, funny pic. :)

    I loved the way they cleared little pathways through front square in Trinity. :)
    I hated the way it was easier to walk on the uncleared snow, than on those clear pathways because the ancient, terribly worn cobblestones were wet! But it was sooo funny to see my friends falling, and all those women in they stiletto heels (because of graduations) that it was still great :)

    I'd get myself another cup of tea, but I have an uber cute velvety black kitten kneading on me, probably about to fall asleep, so I can't get out of bed. Not that I'm complaining! I love my Baileychan soooo much ^_^

    I think you should keep watching stuff. That way I won't be lonely :p (I can't sleep)


    EDIT: Forgot to say: today I found out that I can lift my left eyebrow. Yay!! I'm so proud of myself muahaha. Now I only need to become better than my sister at playing chess and playing piano, and then I'm sorted for life. I think.

    Cranky Bruna is not nice, doesn't suit you!

    Love hate relationship with the ice too...seen numerous falls, used to not laugh when it happened but sometimes these days I can't help it :p Makes it more fun when you are not falling instead lol.

    I'll go get some tea we can both appreciate, although you DO have a kitty there...so win by default except you can't drink a kitty so I don't know where that statement stands now :)

    Oh I'll keep watching for another 30 mins but should sleep then, as I've to be up at 1 to help mam with shopping duties.

    Oh well done! I wish I had separate control over both sides of my frontalis muscle, just so I could do that

    :42 secs in :D



    I can't play chess OR piano either....you should totally get better at both!

    I'm surprised you've never seen me cranky. You must have!

    Sometimes it's funny even if you're the one falling! As long as you don't hurt yourself ofc! And then you can't get up because you're busy trying to stop laughing >_< I love winter ^_^

    Is there a point in sleeping now if you're gonna have to be up at 1pm anyway?

    Lifting up one eyebrow is easy though. The problem is being able to lift both! I shall get better at doing that as well. Because I'm boring like that.


    I can play chess but shamefully badly. I can't play piano anymore. I was never good at it anyway and had zero interest at the time.

    Can you only be surprised on one side of your face at a time? since you can't raise both eyebrows at the same time and all that :pac: Nope not seen you cranky before, only happy, sad, tired and feeling ill.

    Winter is so cool and I love it because I'm a winter baby \o/ Slipping is fun when with friends who are also desperately trying to not fall, and then they do...then you do from laughing :p

    It's probably a good idea to sleep, even though it's only 7 hours of it...I get cranky after 20hrs awake, then normal at 30hrs, then irritable at 36hrs :p

    My bro taught a niece to play when she was 8, she's now 10 and knows more about it than me :p You appreciate music in a different way though, so probably know more about musicians/bands themselves than playing stuff:)

    I really feel like drinking but can't be bothered lol! Will save the alcohol for when going out or whatever, or over the holidays as they (the holidays) can only get better right? Well hopefully they will!

    Oh, eating Hula Hoops on that bench. Wat a day... lol

    I was born in Spring. Or Autumn in Brazil, actually...

    Yeah I might nap for a bit. Can't sleep properly until about 7pm today though.

    I never know anything about musicians. :confused:

    I'm waiting for Bailey to wake up so I can have some coffee spiked with Baileys. Been craving that for ages. Oh, and you still owe me some tequila!!!

    zzz

    Good morning! I just noticed that the bf also said "actually tilting isnt making a big difference for me at all :)" which I seem to have missed in the email before. I thought I'd tell you.

    It was a good day...except for the feeling sick part lol. My few Hula Hoops were nice ha!

    Late autumn for you then, almost winter so that's good:D

    7pm? ouch :(

    But you know lots of bands, and their albums and songs so surely that counts for something?

    Coffee spiked with Bailey is what I read at first...either I'm getting sleepy or deranged:p You should have some coffee, it would be nice.

    I've not touched the stuff, and wont until we can both have it ^_^

    Gonna say Good Morning/Good Day to you as I will go to sleep after this one last song (listening to a Frank Turner album right now):) Will talk soon!

    Yeah and strangely enough I was meant to go out with her but didnt, and usually walk one/two steps ahead...could have been fried myself:eek: She's ok now though, thanks :)

    Nah. In the end I found out that I had no more coffee in the house :(
    And anyway, by that time I'd had too much tea haha

    I seem to have typed this ages ago and not pressed "submit reply" >_>


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,730 ✭✭✭✭entropi


    No coffee = sadface :( Tea more than makes up for it though! Especially nice tea...was is more Pu erh or another blend?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,541 ✭✭✭anothernight


    No coffee = sadface :( Tea more than makes up for it though! Especially nice tea...was is more Pu erh or another blend?

    I had some of this. Smoky! :)

    I don't have any Pu Erh in the house because I haven't gone out myself and I'm not sure I trust my mum. Though my (caffeine containing, camellia sinensis) tea supplies are dwindling now so I guess I'll have to venture out. Or trust mum, more like. I've been having a lot of some random limited edition (why?!) rose tea that Twinings was making for a while (idk if it's still being sold, and anyway it used to disappear from the shelves very quickly) that happens to be really really nice. When that's gone, I still have a lot of matcha which would be enough for a month of heavy tea drinking (ie., holiday drinking). If for some reason that didn't keep very fresh... meh, I must have some Barry's tea somewhere, bought for my dad's friends who installed our new front door...

    Actually, I lie. I still have more tea than that, so I'd never need to go to such desperate lengths. :) And anyway, I could always demolish the herbal infusions and get caffeine from the coffee my mum is bound to buy (she's such a caffeine addict!).


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,730 ✭✭✭✭entropi


    That's alot of tea, are you aiming to finish it all by the time college starts again or just happy to have it around?

    It seems that you probably like caffeine waaaaaaay more than me, and maybe as much as your mam? I dunno but it sounds like that Rose tea is quite nice, probably nicer than your lapsang. Desperate lengths eh! Nah you wont risk going out for tea :D

    Time to go get some food, back in around an hour:)

    Nah I always have loads of tea at home. Variety is so important!

    I can't say I drink tea for the caffeine tbh. I sometimes use peppermint tea as my everyday tea. I normally use coffee for caffeine.

    I never thought you'd eat at this time of the day!
